Rumors Heat Up on AJ Lee’s Possible WWE Comeback After Clash in Paris

The closing moments of WWE’s Clash in Paris have fans buzzing—not just about the World Heavyweight Championship match, but about the potential return of one of the most beloved stars of the last decade: AJ Lee.

The speculation picked up after Seth Rollins, with an assist from his wife Becky Lynch, targeted CM Punk in the show’s final angle. Given the history, it didn’t take long for fans to start connecting the dots and wondering if Punk’s real-life wife could be next to step back into a WWE ring.

According to Fightful Select, WWE’s creative team has recently floated multiple ideas involving Lee, and unlike years past, higher-ups reportedly haven’t been quick to shoot them down. Some inside the company even admitted they hoped that the whispers following the Paris event meant there was something real in the works. Still, there’s no confirmation that a deal—or even serious talks—are happening just yet.

What’s interesting is that WWE apparently isn’t concerned about AJ’s long absence from the ring. Insiders say she still looks just like she did during her 2015 run, and with Punk himself proving you can return after a long layoff, any concerns seem minimal. Her only recent in-ring activity came during filming of the wrestling drama Heels, where she surprised herself by quickly regaining her rhythm.

That said, AJ has been vocal in the past about not wanting to wrestle again. Even during her involvement with WOW Women of Wrestling, she stayed strictly behind the scenes, declining opportunities to lace up the boots. But the intrigue remains—especially with stars in both WWE and AEW reportedly urging Punk to convince her to come back.

For now, the only thing certain is that WWE reignited speculation with the way Clash in Paris ended. Rollins and Lynch’s reunion—helping him retain the World Heavyweight Championship by taking out Punk—was their first on-screen alliance since 2019. Whether that shocking moment sets the stage for AJ Lee’s return remains to be seen, but it’s clear WWE fans are more hopeful than ever.

WWE delivered a wild night in France with celebrity cameos, and chaotic championship battles. Here’s how it all went down:

Roman Reigns vs. “Big” Bronson Reed

The atmosphere was electric for Roman Reigns’ return to singles action, and “Big” Bronson Reed gave him all he could handle. The Australian powerhouse nearly had the Tribal Chief put away on multiple occasions — connecting with a senton, Death Valley Driver, and even a crushing Liger Bomb.

Reigns dug deep, surviving Reed’s best shots and landing a thunderous avalanche Samoan Drop before finally finishing things with a decisive spear.

The celebration didn’t last long. After the bell, Paul Heyman tried to play peacemaker, but Roman choked out his former advisor in a vicious Guillotine before walking off with his reclaimed shoes that Reed had previously stolen.

Just when it looked like Reigns would stand tall in Paris, Bron Breakker exploded from nowhere with a spear! That ambush kicked off a post-match beatdown where Breakker and Reed brutalized Reigns, dropping him with repeated Tsunamis until he had to be stretchered out. Jey Uso tried to intervene, but he too was left laid out.

The attack sets the stage for major fallout — and for the first time in years, Roman looked vulnerable.

Street Profits vs. The Wyatt 6 – WWE Tag Team Championship

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford came close to dethroning Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy, but the Wyatt 6’s chaos once again proved too much.

After a competitive back-and-forth, interference from Nikki Cross, Uncle Howdy, and Erick Rowan tilted the odds in the champions’ favor. Gacy and Lumis sealed the win with a devastating suplex/powerbomb combo on Ford to retain the gold.

Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella – WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Nikki Bella brought the fight in her surprising return, even hitting Becky Lynch with her own Manhandle Slam. But “The Man” survived Bella’s Fearless Lock, outlasted a brutal ringside brawl, and snatched the win with a crafty backslide. Lynch remains Women’s Intercontinental Champion, while Bella’s comeback nearly stole the show.

Rusev vs. Sheamus – Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match

A brutal, beer-soaked brawl unfolded as Rusev and Sheamus tore into each other with chairs, kendo sticks, and shillelaghs. The Redeemer ultimately forced Sheamus to tap to a shillelagh-assisted Accolade, scoring one of his biggest wins since returning to WWE.

John Cena vs. Logan Paul

Logan Paul once again proved he belongs in WWE, pushing John Cena to the limit in one of the night’s most dramatic matches. Paul connected with everything from Buckshot Lariats to frog splashes, but Cena’s heart and veteran resilience carried him through.

After a stunning Styles Clash and Frankensteiner didn’t get it done, Cena finally sealed the deal with back-to-back Attitude Adjustments for the victory. Cena celebrated with the Paris crowd, his wife at ringside, and even shared a hug with country star Jelly Roll, who was in attendance alongside Post Malone.

Fatal Four-Way Main Event – WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Seth Rollins defended against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso in a chaotic main event. All four men had moments where they nearly walked out as champion — Punk nailed the GTS, Jey landed a big splash, and Knight hit Blunt Force Trauma — but the Visionary always found a way to survive.

The turning point came late when a hooded figure stormed the ring and hit Punk with a low blow. The culprit? Becky Lynch. With his wife’s shocking assist, Rollins drilled Punk with the Blackout to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

Afterward, Rollins and Lynch taunted Punk together, cementing themselves as one of WWE’s most dangerous power couples.

DDP Hospitalized After Experiencing Atrial Fibrillation

WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) recently revealed that he was hospitalized after suffering an episode of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes an irregular and often rapid heartbeat.

DDP shared the news with fans on social media, explaining that the incident occurred while he was working out. He noted that he wasn’t wearing a heart monitor at the time, which made it harder to immediately track what was happening. Doctors later performed a cardioversion procedure — a treatment used to restore a normal heart rhythm.

The 68-year-old legend has long been known for his dedication to health and fitness, especially through his DDP Yoga program, which has helped countless wrestlers and fans alike improve their quality of life. While the episode was certainly a scare, Page seemed upbeat in his update and appears to be on the mend.

Wrestling fans everywhere will no doubt be wishing DDP a speedy recovery.

WWE (NXT) Heatwave 8/24/2025 (Results), Speed Titles Coming to NXT

New Champions Crowned, Title Matches Set, and Oba Femi Survives a War

NXT Heatwave 2025 delivered a night of surprises, hard-hitting action, and championship shakeups. From the women’s division to the tag team ranks, the card kept fans in Lowell, Massachusetts on their feet all evening. Here’s how it all went down:

Lola Vice Earns NXT Women’s Title Shot

The show opened with a fast-paced triple threat as Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice battled for the No. 1 contender spot.

Parker started hot, overwhelming both opponents until Jordan and Vice briefly joined forces to cut her down. Alliances quickly broke apart as all three women traded momentum in and out of the ring, including Jordan hitting a wild corkscrew splash to the floor and Parker nearly sealing the win with a spinebuster.

The finish came after a chaotic closing stretch that included a “tower of doom” and multiple near falls. Parker connected with her Hipnotic on Jordan, but Vice was waiting with a quick roll-up to steal the pin and the victory.

👉 Winner: Lola Vice (becomes No. 1 contender to the NXT Women’s Championship)

DarkState Captures the NXT Tag Team Titles

The dominant reign of Hank & Tank came to a shocking end thanks to the chaos of DarkState. Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin did the heavy lifting, but interference from Cutler James and Saquon Shugars proved to be the difference.

Despite the champions’ spirited comeback — including Tank hitting a Swanton Bomb on both challengers — the numbers game was too much. DarkState capitalized on a distracted referee and put Hank away with a devastating Doomsday Device.

👉 Winners and NEW NXT Tag Team Champions: DarkState

Ash by Elegance Becomes TNA Knockouts World Champion

With TNA President Carlos Silva watching from ringside, the Knockouts World Championship returned in a high-stakes triple threat between Jacy Jayne, Masha Slamovich, and Ash by Elegance.

The match was filled with interference and close calls, as Jayne had Fatal Influence in her corner and Ash leaned on her Elegance Brand entourage. Despite heavy strikes from Masha and big dives from both challengers, the end came when Jayne’s allies were ejected from ringside. That left the door open for Ash, who capitalized by pinning Slamovich after hitting her Swanton Bomb.

👉 Winner and NEW TNA Knockouts World Champion: Ash by Elegance

Blake Monroe Stuns Jordynne Grace

Former friends turned bitter rivals clashed as Jordynne Grace battled Blake Monroe in a physical showdown. Grace controlled much of the match with her signature power moves, but Monroe zeroed in on her arm and used every dirty trick possible, including exposing a turnbuckle.

After surviving a top-rope powerbomb, Monroe turned the tide by sending Grace face-first into the exposed steel before drilling her with a Double Arm DDT for the upset win.

👉 Winner: Blake Monroe

Chelsea Green & Ethan Page Score Mixed Tag Win

Lowell fans were firmly behind Chelsea Green, loudly chanting her name throughout her mixed tag with Ethan Page against Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele.

The match broke down into chaos with Alba Fyre and the Elegance Brand getting involved, but Green had the final word. After a flurry of suplexes and a near victory for Steele, Green hit the Un-Pretty-Her to secure the win for her team.

👉 Winners: Chelsea Green & Ethan Page

Big Announcement: Speed Titles Coming to NXT

General Manager Ava revealed that both Men’s and Women’s Speed Championships are officially coming to NXT. Sol Ruca will defend her Women’s Speed Title at No Mercy against the winner of a new tournament.

Oba Femi Survives Je’Von Evans in Championship Epic

The main event saw Oba Femi defend the NXT Championship against Je’Von Evans in a match that had the crowd split and chanting “This is Awesome” before it was over.

Evans used his speed and high-flying arsenal to keep the champion off balance, but Oba’s size and strength proved overwhelming. A referee bump added controversy when Evans appeared to have the match won after hitting multiple cutters, but the original official waved it off after spotting Oba’s foot under the rope.

The end came in brutal fashion: Oba launched Evans through the announce table before finishing him with the Fall From Grace inside the ring.

👉 Winner and STILL NXT Champion: Oba Femi

After the bell, Ricky Saints confronted the champion, setting the stage for a new rivalry as Heatwave went off the air.

🔥 Takeaway: NXT Heatwave shook up the landscape with Lola Vice earning her first shot at the women’s crown, DarkState rising as tag team champs, and Ash by Elegance bringing the TNA Knockouts World Championship back to TNA. Meanwhile, Oba Femi proved once again why he is the most dominant force in NXT, though Ricky Saints is waiting in the wings.
